Great cream for recovery and restoration
One of my favourite moisturizers worthy of five stars. Great for barrier restoration and skin recovery. Ceramide rich, scentless whipped cream, absorbs quickly, and leaves my dry skin hydrated, smooth and plump. Works well with all my other skincare and makeup products, doesn't pill, and isn't too heavy. Practical pump, making dosage easy and hygienic. Will definitely keep using it 💜
